Although it might be straightforward to dismiss Tye Trujillo as simply one other wealthy rock star’s child, that may be somewhat unfair, given the sheer variety of initiatives he’s been connected to through the years, like Thredge, Switchblade, Loco Lords, and Blu Weekend. He’s additionally stuffed in for Korn and Suicidal Tendencies after they wanted a bassist. However his present work with OTTTO appears to be his essential focus currently, as they’ve not solely launched their album Life Is A Recreation earlier this 12 months, however they’re additionally hitting the street with Bastardane (that includes James Hetfield’s child Castor Hetfield).

To have a good time their upcoming tour and the discharge of their album, OTTTO launched a music video for the tremendous catchy “Skyscraper.” That includes some board gaming, bizarre previous film footage, and a few chick with a creepy fuckin’ marionette, this video positive is one thing. And that’s in all probability resulting from the truth that it’s directed by Paul Marchand, whose previous works embody music documentaries like Jaco and Selena Gomez: My Thoughts & Me. The dude was in all probability on the lookout for a inventive outlet.

Talking on the monitor and the music video, Marchand mentioned the video mirrored the title of the album, with every die roll inflicting some type of chaos to ensue.

“OTTTO rocks. However man, to be sincere all of us had a whole lot of milk to drink that day. I simply bear in mind the swell was down and the surf zombies got here inland. Somebody introduced a board sport? This kinda stuff simply occurs in Topanga. I believe it was a Tuesday.”

In the event you’re about to dismiss this band simply due to their ties to Metallica, you’d be doing your self a little bit of a disservice. This monitor is actual catchy and these guys can kick some severe ass.
